30 Days to a Better Man Day 2: Shine Your Shoes

Stemming from the logic that women notice shoes, the Day 2 task from Art of Manliness is to shine ma shoes!
Get out every pair of dress shoes that you own and get them all into ship shape condition. You never know when you’re going to need to don a pair, and the last thing you want to do is be ready to run at the door to an important meeting and realize that your shoes are in no condition to meet the public.
Uh… since I don’t have “a few cans of Kiwi shoe polish” or dress shoes, I’ll opt to put a pair of my chucks into the washing machine.

I’m sure that my bright white sneakers will, of course, contribute to my becoming a “better man”… perhaps not as much as the feel of driving around in my midlife crisis car in stiff n’ shiny high-end shoes - but, ya know. Close?

The above coverage even ended with: "if you're an employer open to hiring transgender individuals" there's a link on their site to DiversityJobs.com ! Just 6 months ago the bills und

Viddy Documentation: 39 Days

If blogging is out of my element, photo documentation is even further out in the element ball park. What's on an another planet altogether is video documentation. Still, here's the thang. My voice just started cracking a couple of weeks ago and I want to catch it while it's high pitch central and to be able to look back on that change later down the road. Since the thickening of my vocal chords will be very gradual, I'm going to record my voice every so often to document that change. Here goes!
